Reason # 8

Whenever we talk about STDs the discussion about fidelity has to be on the table as well. Men and women think, act and react in different levels and ways when the subject is betrayal. Sex equals love for most women. In a man’s point of view sex is sex and love is love. You can have sex with someone and love somebody else. Paradoxically, they are the ones that can’t get over a betrayal while women usually end up forgiving their unfaithful partners. This happens because they know how the opposite sex thinks. Men don’t accept a betrayal because they know that they are not being only sexually betrayed. They know when women cheat on them it is because they are often falling out of love. Women are more forgiving because they know that doesn’t necessarily mean they are not loved anymore.

Let’s forget about the moral, sentimental or religious issues that could surface in a case of betrayal. Let’s accept that sex is sex and love is love. Let’s say that it is Ok to have sex with someone when you are in love with or in a relationship with somebody else. They usually say there is no problem as long as their partners don’t find out. If you can’t see it, it isn’t there. What’s to blame about it? The problem is that both men and women (Yes! Women do it too) are not careful about the way they have sex with others. They usually have unsafe sex. If they get some STD they will have their “beloved ones” infected as well. Sex is sex. Love is love. Love without respect is not love. If you are ready to exchange your life and your partner’s for some minutes of pleasure it’s break up time.
